What Changed My Mind?

-When I Came the United States to Study Abroad-

I still remember the day. It was June 7^th, 2013; I arrived in the United States for study abroad. I was pretty nervous because it could be one of the biggest challenges in my life. I was worry about one thing. I was not sure that I would like American food or not.

I stayed in the hotel that was near Narita International Airport. I was by myself because my parents had to work. I woke up early in the morning and took a shower, brushed my teeth, ate breakfast, and made sure I had everything like passport, phone, money, and boarding pass. After that I checked out the hotel and went to the airport by shuttle bus. I got there and went to the gate where the plane was waiting. I got in the airplane and took my seat. I sat in the aisle seat. I tried to sleep and I could sleep very well. I slept for quite a long time. I was surprised when I woke up because the airplane was landing.

So I arrived at Atlanta International airport and I was so hungry because I did not eat anything in the airplane so I started to look for a restaurant. I walked around about 5 min. I found a restaurant, which was Chipotle. I was not sure it was good or not because it was first time to see the restaurant in my life and Mexican food is not popular in Japan. I still clearly remember that time. I ordered a bowl with white rice, black beans, steak, mild salsa, corn, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce. I paid and got it.

I was shocked when I took a bite of the bowl because it tasted amazing and also Chipotle changed my mind. And it had released from the worry. I felt like I can eat this every meal.

I really love Chipotle so much. I eat chipotle at lease twice in a week. Unfortunately there is no Chipotle in Japan. So I am sure I am going to miss it when I go back to Japan.
